Looks good for a wee bike, exhaust does look a little big but I suspect that most cans may swamp the bike.

cheers guys, i didnt think it looked that big really lol
but yeah the bike isnt all that big tbh, and as nobody english makes cans for the 250 i had to get a 600 can.

but even with it being a 600 can the link pipe was only about 5mm or so bigger than the front pipe it connected to Confused

That's what I love about that 250 compared to others...the fact that Honda obviously had too many fireblade wheels kicking about and needed to get rid. Laughing Thumbs Up Love it.
